According to an article yesterday, in Voice of America, the new PM of
Gilani proposes to do this by fighting poverty first and foremost in the tribes that produce most of the Taliban extremist because he believes it is that poverty that “encourages this type of behavior” and thus to fight the extremist you have to “fight” the source. He now has the approval and backing of the parliament, even those that are supporters of Musharraf, which he needed in order to secure his positions. Now, this is worrying some people because they are afraid he may have just done this in order to secure his position; however, the article alluded to the fact that he had enough support to secure his position before he made this speech therefore it must be true. I am just hoping that it is true because Pakistan has been through quite a bit and also that Musharraf won’t do anything extreme in order to keep his position, but only time will tell.
